Well done, Garfield! ;-) You cracked the
system! We need smart cookies like you in
our family, you know. We want to make our
webinars affordable and accessible for
everybody. If you feel like you *have*
to attend for free, that's perfectly fine —
we are happy to welcome you.
By the end of the day, we still have got to
pay the bills somehow. So perhaps you do
have a few pennies to spend every month after
all. Every contribution counts, you know.

Happy watching! ;-)
